Billy Wilder's The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes, the 1970 Billy Wilder English London England detective crime mystery melodrama ("It took a genius to cover up Sherlock Holmes' vices, blunders, and bizarre tastes. Sherlock Holmes was a genius."; "What you don't know about Sherlock Holmes has made a great motion picture."; "Everybody knows about the lightning-quick mind, the dazzling wit, the deer-stalker cap, the magnifying glass, the violin. But what about the little glass vials he so cunningly kept hidden from Dr. Watson. And what about the security blunder that almost cost the British Empire its navy. And what about the woman who spent the night with him. It's all here in the most exciting mystery of them all."; "anything but elementary"; "The cab rolled silently through the yellow fog and stopped at 221-B Baker Street. A beautiful young woman alit, moved swiftly to the door and spent the night."; "Based upon the characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle"; Written by Billy Wilder) starring Robert Stephens (in the title role as Sherlock Holmes), Colin Blakely (as Dr. Watson), Genevieve Page, Christopher Lee, and Tamara Toumanova

Artist: Robert McGinnis
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster! We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning. Note that this Japanese two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Finally, note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster has a snipe glued at upper right that has rippled several areas of the poster (see our image). It has been glued at center (see above). Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
